Abstract
Diabetes management systems may include a glucose monitoring device adapted to transmit glucose data and at least one accessory in communication with the glucose monitoring device and adapted to provide at least one alarm or alert based on the glucose data.
Claims19
A health management system comprising:
- an on-body unit configured to be worn on a skin surface of a user, the on-body unit comprising:
- a glucose sensor configured to be placed in contact with a bodily fluid of the user to detect glucose levels of the user;
- and
- sensor electronics coupled to the glucose sensor and configured to wirelessly transmit glucose data of the user;
- and
- a pen cap in wireless communication with the on-body unit and releasably coupleable to a medication delivery device, the pen cap configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving glucose data of the user from the on-body unit;
- detecting one or more dosing events of the medication delivery device, wherein a dosing event is inferred from an uncapping event of the pen cap from the medication delivery device and a capping event of the pen cap to the medication delivery device;
- determining timing data corresponding to the one or more dosing events;
- based on the determination of timing data:
- responsive to having timing data related to one or more medication doses administered over a most recent time period, enabling a recommended medication dosage to be provided;
- and
- responsive to not having timing data related to one or more medication doses administered over the most recent time period, disabling a recommended medication dosage from being provided, absent a user override;
- analyzing the glucose data in combination with the timing data, wherein the analyzing comprises identifying one or more patterns in the glucose data and the timing data;
- and
- outputting a coaching message responsive to the analysis of the glucose data and the timing data.

A method of managing health, the method comprising:
- receiving, by at least one processor, glucose data of a user from an on-body unit configured to be worn on a skin surface of the user, the on-body unit comprising:
- a glucose sensor configured to be placed in contact with a bodily fluid of the user to detect glucose levels of the user;
- and
- sensor electronics coupled to the glucose sensor and configured to wirelessly transmit glucose data of the user;
- receiving, by the at least one processor, one or more dosing events of a medication delivery device by a pen cap releasably coupleable to the medication delivery device, the pen cap configured to detect the one or more dosing events;
- determining, by the at least one processor, timing data corresponding to the one or more dosing events;
- based on the determination of timing data:
- responsive to having timing data related to one or more medication doses administered over a most recent time period, enabling a recommended medication dosage to be provided;
- and
- responsive to not having timing data related to one or more medication doses administered over the most recent time period, disabling a recommended medication dosage from being provided, absent a user override;
- analyzing, by the at least one processor, the glucose data in combination with the timing data, wherein the analyzing comprises identifying one or more patterns in the glucose data and the timing data;
- and
- outputting a coaching message responsive to the analysis of the glucose data and the timing data.

- a glucose sensor configured to be placed in contact with a bodily fluid of the user to detect glucose levels of the user;
- and
- sensor electronics coupled to the glucose sensor and configured to wirelessly transmit glucose data of the user;
- and
- a pen cap in wireless communication with the on-body unit and releasably coupleable to a medication delivery device, the pen cap configured to perform operations comprising:
- responsive to a user-facilitated interaction between the on-body unit and the pen cap, receiving glucose data of the user from the on-body unit;
- detecting one or more dosing events of the medication delivery device, wherein a dosing event is inferred from an uncapping event of the pen cap from the medication delivery device and a capping event of the pen cap to the medication delivery device;
- determining timing data corresponding to the one or more dosing events;
- based on the determination of timing data:
- responsive to having timing data related to one or more medication doses administered over a most recent time period, enabling a recommended medication dosage to be provided;
- and
- responsive to not having timing data related to one or more medication doses administered over the most recent time period, disabling a recommended medication dosage from being provided, absent a user override;
- receiving the user override;
- responsive to receiving the user override, providing a recommended medication dosage;
- analyzing the glucose data in combination with the timing data, wherein the analyzing comprises identifying one or more patterns in the glucose data and the timing data;
- and
- outputting a coaching message responsive to the analysis of the glucose data and the timing data.
